| like it or no. Look here, do you think l am
the sort of man to play with! You go to
Wakkerstroom and ask what sort of man
Frank Muller is. See, want you'll must
have you. l could not live if thought that
l should never get you for myself. And l
tell you l will do it, l don't care if it costs
my life, and your rooibaatje's, too. I'll do it
if have to stir up revolt against the gov
eminent. There, | swear it by God or by the
devil, it's all one TO me!' And growing mar
| ticulate with passion, he stood there before
her clinching and unclinching his great hand,
and his lips trembling.
Bessie was very frightened; but she was a
brave woman, and rose to the OCCASION
"If you go on talking like that" she said,
~ shall call my uncle. | tell you that will
not marry you, Frank Muller, and that moth
ing shall ever make me marry you. l am
very sorry for you, but have not encouraged
you, and will never marryiyou-never"
He stood for half minute or so looking at
her, and then burst into a savage laugh.
| II think that some day or other | shall find
a way to make YOU" he said and, turning,
went without another word
| A couple of minutes later Bessie heard the
sound of a horse galloping, and looking up
saw her wooer's powerful form vanishing
down the vista of blue gums Also she heard
somebody crying out as though in pain at
the back of the house. and, more to relieve
her mind than anything else went to see
what it was. By the stable door she found
the Hottentot Jantje twisting round and
round and shreking and cursing, holding his
| hand to his side, from which the blood was
| running.
"What is it!' she asked.
"Baas Frank" he sad-"Baas Frank hit
me with his whip"
"The bruter' said Bessie, the tears starting
into her eyes with anger
| "Never mind, missile, never mind" said the
Hottentot, his ugly face growing livid with
fury, at is only one more to me- cut it on
this stick"-and he held up a long, thick
stick he carried, on which We're several
notches starting from three deep ones at the
top just below the knob. "Let him look out
sharp-let him search the grass-et him
creep round the bush-let him look as he
WILL one day he will find Jantje and Jantje
will find HIM"
"Why did Frank Muller galop away like
| that" asked her uncle of Bessie when she got
back to the veranda.
"We had some words, f." she answered, shortly,
not seeing the use of explaining matters to the
old man.
"Ah, indeed, indeed. Well, be careful my
love. It's i'll to quarrel with man like
Frank Muller I've known him for many
years, and he has black heart when he is
crossed. You see, my love, you can deal
with Boer and you can deal with an Eng
lishman, but cross bred dogs are bad tc
handle. Take my advice and make it up
with Frank Muller"
All of which sage advice did not tend to
raise Bessie's spirits, which were already suf-
| f1ciently low.

DREAMS AND FooLIsHNEss..

DREAMS AND FOOLISHNESS.>
When John Mel left Bessie on the veranda
at the approach of Frank Muller he had
taken his gun, and, having wlnstled to tie
pointer dog Pontiac, mounted his shooting
pony and started out in quest of partridges.
On the warm slopes Of the hills round Walk
kerstroom large species of partridge is very
abundant, especially in the patches of red
| grass in which they are sometimes clothed
1t is merry sound to hear these partridges
calling from all directions just after day
break, and ono to make the heart of every
true sportsman rejoice exceedingly On leav-
ing the house John proceeded up the side Of
the hill behind this pony picking its way
carefully between the stones, and the dog
Pontiac ranging about 200 or 800 yards off, for
n this sort of country it is necessary to have
dog with wide range. Presently John
saw him stop under mimosa thorn and sud
| denly stiffen out as if he had been petrifed
and made the best of his way toward him.
Pontiac stood still for few seconds and then
slowly and deliberately veered his head
| round, as though it worked on hinge, to see
If his master were coming. John knew his
ways. Three times would that remarkable
| old dog look round thus, and if the gun had
not then arrived he would to certainty run
he never broke, for his patience had fixed
| limit. On this occasion, however, John
arrived before it was reached, and, jumping
off his pony, cooked his gun and marched
slowly up, full of happy expectation. On
drew the dog, his eye cold and fixed, saliva
| dropping from his mouth, and his head and
face, on which was frozen an extraordinary
expression of instructive ferocity, outstretched
to their utmost limit.
He was right under the mimosa thorn now
and up to his belly in warm, red grass
Where could the birds bes Whirr and a
great feathered shell seemed to have burst at
his very feet, What a coveyl twelve brace
| If there was "A bird, and they had all been

too, little sooner than it should have DONE
"MsSed him cleanl Now then for the left
barrel" Same result There, we will draw
veil over the profanity that ensued. A
minute later and it was all over, and John
and Pontiac were regarding each other with
contempt and disgust.

Pontiac II thought you were going to run
in, and you hurried mo-"
"Ughl" said Pontiac to John, or, at least
he looked it. ugh you disgusting bad shot
What is the good of pointing for you9 It's

The covey-or rather the collection of old
birds, for this kind of partridge sometimes
"packs" just before the breeding season-had
scattered all about the place, and it was not
long before Pontiac found some of them; and
this tine John got one bird-and a beautiful
great partridge he was, too, with yellow legs
! and missed another. Again Pontiac pointed
